More about this artwork

"Two Wolves" (1913) by Franz Marc is a captivating work that beautifully exemplifies Marc's unique approach to animal depiction and his adept use of abstraction. The painting features two wolves, rendered in a strikingly non-traditional style that straddles the boundary between abstraction and representational art. Marc employs a dynamic composition of bold, sweeping lines and interlocking shapes that seem to pulse with life, suggesting the vigorous energy and raw nature of the wolves.Colors in the artwork play a critical role in conveying emotion and atmosphere. Shades of blue, black, white, and occasional touches of red and orange create a balanced yet intense visual experience, enhancing the depiction of the wolves with a vibrant, almost palpable aura of mystique and primal spirit.This piece is representative of Marc's fascination with animals as pure, uncorrupted beings existing in harmony with the natural world, a recurring theme in his works. "Two Wolves" invites viewers to ponder the spiritual and emotional essence of these creatures, beyond their physical forms.

Franz Moritz Wilhelm Marc (8 February 1880 – 4 March 1916) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of German Expressionism. He was a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a journal whose name later became synonymous with the circle of artists collaborating in it.

His mature works mostly are animals, and are known for bright colors. He was drafted to serve in the German Army at the beginning of World War I, and died two years later at the Battle of Verdun.

In the 1930s, the Nazis named him a degenerate artist as part of their suppression of modern art. However, most of his work survived World War II, securing his legacy. His work is now exhibited in many eminent galleries and museums. When up for auction, his major paintings attract large sums, with a record of £42,654,500 for Die Füchse (The Foxes).
